This big Powerball jackpot is all well-timed, as extended through the month of February by popular demand is the lottery’s 5 Buck Bundle – a package which includes Powerball, Mega Millions and Natural State Jackpot tickets for, yes, five bucks. Drawing on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10 p.m., tonight’s national Mega Millions jackpot is $30 million. Meanwhile, tonight’s Arkansas-only Natural State Jackpot top prize is $85,000; NSJ drawings are held Monday through Saturday at 8 p.m.

To get the 5 Buck Bundle, Arkansas Scholarship Lottery players must simply buy a $3 Powerball with PowerPlay ticket and a $2 Mega Millions with Megaplier ticket to receive a free $1 Natural State Jackpot ticket all February long. All three tickets will be Quick Picks. (This promotion is not available from lottery ticket vending machines or if tickets are purchased separately.)
